Marlins re-signed OF Moises Sierra to a minor league contract.

Sierra batted .336/.414/.519 with nine homers at Double-A Jacksonville this season, which is the kind of line you'd expect him to put up given that he turned 28 last month. He hasn't appeared in the majors since 2014. Fri, Oct 28, 2016 12:47:00 PM

Sierra, 27, spent last season at Triple-A with the Royals, hitting .289/.350/.362 with three homers and 13 steals. He spent significant time in the majors from 2012-14 but hit only .243/.296/.383. Mon, Jan 11, 2016 09:54:00 PM

Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports that Wei-Yin Chen officially informed the Marlins on Sunday that he will not exercise the opt-out clause in his contract.

Chen is owed $60 million over the next three years, holds a 4.72 ERA since the beginning of 2016 and is dealing with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow. In other words, there was really no decision to make here. Chen received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his left elbow in September in hopes of avoiding Tommy John surgery.
